Why do men watch figure skating?

I think most men in the US start watching FS because the women make them. I've managed to push a few guys into watching because they were interested in me. After I didn't appreciate their efforts in the way they hoped, they lost interest. Sometime we manage to win some converts, sometimes we lose.

Interesting topic. I got myself into this thing, it's really odd. You can blame my computer and the internet, that's for sure. I always watched the olympics but after 2002 curiosity (and access to a computer- 1998 I was VERY interested but lost it fairly quickly because there was no way for me to keep up) got the better of me, and 1.5 years later, here I am. :D

My "interest" has always gone in and out. As time progresses, and now with a new found interest in sports like football, my interest in this sport is waning. The beginning of last season was kind of fun, the end was OK, I think this offseason about did it in for me. I may or may not watch next season but I'll definitely keep up online with results- at least I THINK I will.
